Diabetes is estimated to affect approximately 530 million adults worldwide, with a global prevalence of 10.5 percent among adults aged 20 to 79 years. 1
Type 2 diabetes represents approximately 98 percent of global diabetes diagnoses, although this proportion varies widely among
Evaluate the possible factors that affect the appearance of Diabetes Type 2, for further control and prevention.

Strong correlation between BMI and skin thickness
Weak correlation between insulin and glucose levelsj
Principal component analysis
After having scaled and centred the data, we performed PCA to test the correlation between multiple properties in a two-dimensional space.
Principal component analysis
Principal component analysis
As we can see, there’s no clear separation between the two classes using the two best principal components.
The reason can be traced back to how much variance is explained by each principal component.
Principal component analysis
Principal component analysis
The first two principal components only account for around 50% of the total variance.
To reach at least 90%, we would have to include 6 PC out of 8.
